Lazy Dungeon Master - Vol. 2 Ch. 10 - Dungeon Battle (Part 2) v2

[Sandy]

the moment, when you realize tricked by someone

 

[Kampfarsch]

I mean shes wasnt on the right path anyway because of the golem walls but how is that fair
just blocking her from going further with a riddle
thats really really stupid
and why can he just hide the core in a wall ? theres no way they could ever find that

 

[esp]

@Kampfarsch

I don't know if this will be explained.

Spoiler

There are gamified rules put in by the gods essentially. If it is surrounded by walls, it doesn't count as an active core. He has backup cores buried in the maze currently, but they would have to open a wall before they could castle to it. Likewise, if you did something like lock one behind a door and destroy the key, the door would become fragile and they wouldn't be able to use points to repair it. You could put your core in a wall with no doors, but you would lose access to the dungeon, and have to re-buy the real estate all over again once you opened it up.

Hahaha, Haku's reaction to the door and the 'under construction' wall has always been my favorite sequence of this story.

Haku's Despair
That panel deserves to be framed and hung beside Edvard Munch's The Scream.

@Kampfarsch Hmm, I think you have some sort of misunderstanding about this... It's a real battle. I mean it might seem like a "fun event" between dungeon masters, but in essence it is an actual battle. Aside from the part that all they have to do is "touch" the core instead of destroying it. The older sister stated it didn't she? "If you have the ability to protect my cute little sister".. If you had some random adventurers come stomping their dirty ass feet all in your home would you offer them a cup of coffee and a chair, then when they are finished have arrows pointing the whole way to the core?

Edit: You want to talk about fair.. 100k was put on the line but she has strong ass people that she's acquainted with to help her defend hers. What kind of shit is that.

Rats that loyal should cost extra DP.

 

[aerozext]

Imagine diving into a dungeon.
And it’s still under construction so you can’t reach the treasure room and are forced to go back outside.

 

[Renki]

i have been in the same situation before...i know yer feeling haku....

 

[suzubelle]

rats huh
that's one horrible torture to end that minotaur...

 

[Fari]

oh huh, forgot about this series, thought a different series with a similar premise was the one the rats and stuff had happened in.

Anyway, poor minotaur.

 

[Fari]

@Kampfarsch The gameified rules guarantee that it can't be 'too hidden'. In the end, at best it can be equivalent to a really rare obscure collectible in a videogame... without a walk through. Think like needing to find 15 different Koroks in BOTW. While also not having the knowledge that there's Koroks til you find one.

So no, not impossible, just potentially very hard.

Also I don't see what's unfair about a riddle door? She could've used the same kinda thing, anyways. His rats probably wouldn't have been able to answer at all, too. Could've been a great decision. Like it said, the more complex the riddle is (however that's arbitrarily decided) the more it costs too. So he couldn't have actually made a riddle as hard as she thought it was.

@aerozext wasn't that Vanir's Dream from Konosuba? To create the world's best/hardest dungeon/labyrinth and to [mock?] die in a fight with the adventurers and watch as they find an empty treasure chest/room and tasting the pinnacle of disappointment for adventurers produced?

a succubus surrenders much later on to avoid the same fate

@zaji970 Dude don't spoil the second best part of the novel, although it does take place hundreds of chapters in

 

[Juslin]

@Fari Yeah and the more complicated it is, the more fragile the door is I think. That said, I'm pretty sure that Gate of Wisdom is fake and actually just a golem to preserve DP, so Haku's idea is kind of right lol.

 

[Shamz]

for me the Minotaur's death looks like a rape scene...

 

[jessiej]

Thank you for the translation! Im still hoping you guys will continue to work on this!

BTW, is chapter 10 really chapter 10? or should it be chapter 9 part 2? I was thinking the chapter had been split, but maybe not?
